About me
I’m a Clinical Psychologist based in Cologne, Germany, with a strong academic foundation (B.Sc. & M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology) and a license as a non-medical practitioner for psychotherapy. My work focuses on helping individuals navigate intense stress, burnout, anxiety, and panic attacks. But here’s the difference: I don’t just look at what’s going wrong - I help you discover the strengths and resilience already within you.
In addition to my foundational degrees, I have pursued extensive further education and training specifically in the areas of resilience (= the successful adaptation to difficult or challenging events) and stress management. This enables me to offer evidence-based strategies that not only help you cope with stress but also build lasting inner strength. Through this, I can support you in transforming challenges into opportunities for personal growth.
My integrative therapy training allows me to draw from a diverse array of therapeutic tools and approaches tailored to your individual needs. This comprehensive training ensures that our work together is not just about addressing immediate issues but also about creating a holistic and personalized path to well-being. My approach combines the best practices from various therapeutic modalities, offering you a well-rounded and flexible framework for achieving lasting positive change.
